Exceptional The decline of Newspapers and Journalism in general A Ridiculous Riddle by Frank Jauregui Newspaper's farewell writing prompt entry

It began with a  Roar from The Jungle The pen is mightier than the sword! Now, reduced to the clickety-clack of the Grand Word- Processor – Turned Inquisitor Tapping in code to the masses Mostly meant to harass us Seldom promoting the truth. XXX XXX XXX XXX XXX XXX Then, their muckety mucks With their big bucks Tiny thoughts And ideas Dropped the Ridiculous Riddle Not One  Jot Nor One  Tittle By its bloodthirsty blade was ignored Yanked and Pulled - its certified prizes Until the mighty pen >< became the sword! Writing Prompt Write a poem of any type on the decline of the Newspaper in media circles. Can be funny or serious, with a historical dimension perhaps. Author Notes I think - sadly, newspapers are just a sign of what is in store for all media - if we don't find the answer to this ridiculous riddle - and soon!
